As I am very interested in Yii2 and spend some time to track project development process on GitHub (and try to participate a little), I decided to make small periodic digests of most interesting and valuable changes so far.
Also I often catch useful hints in GitHub discussions and don't want to loose them, so will try to collect some.

Here we go !

It took just a little more that 1 year from idea of having own blog to it's implementation :)
Upcoming Yii2 inspired me to have a tight look on it ... and to do something - so this is what I got up to date.

What I have learned while making this blog

Yii2 going to be much better that Yii1 and it is worth of switching on it

Composer is cool, you can leave without... before you try it. After that - it is very hard without it

Namespaces + Composer's autoloader in PHP are cool, that's a pleasure now to write code (with good IDE autocomplete)

Markdown is cool, integrated it in this blog, very handy to write formatted posts now
